Darren I just want to thank you for the great class we had today. I received a lot of information and there was great discussion. My utah app went in the mail today. I look forward to attending your other classes in the future.
Take care

I've been an on and off lurker around here. I attended D-Man's class today, which finally put the boot to my butt to sign up so I could give him a thumb's up.

Great class. Very informative and run more like a discussion group than a class, which encouraged Q&A (also no Powerpoint or safety films from the 1970's - yeah!). I'm looking forward to attending some of his other training in the very near future.

Oregon does everything in house which is why I don't give it out. Virginia, I can mail to you, or you can request a packet through the links on my website and the Virginia State Police will mail you the packet.

If you get enough people together I am happy to travel up there and make a class happen. Other option is to talk to Jim Amentler at Alpha Safety Defense as he runs classes up in NORCAL all the time. Jim is a great guy and teaches a good class, and is someone I can vouch for personally.

if I take your class, then it would qualify for the Arizona training requirement for a CCW permit. I then can apply for Arizona CCW which is honored in Nevada? Do I have to apply for Nevada's CCW permit if I have Arizona CCW?

Applying for and receiving a Arizona CCW permit hen what other state will honor my Arizona CCW permit without having to apply for a CCW in that state?

I see the map you posted but don't fully understand it.

So the class in July 2011 is $75? What other fees? Range fee? Gun rental? Can I bring in my own gun and ammo? Do you have a link of what to bring, break down of cost, locaton, time schedule, etc

You are not required to apply for any permit, but with the recent change in Nevada law, an Arizona CCW permit is accepted now in Nevada. Once you receive your Utah permit, you can send a copy of that permit in to Arizona as proof of training. Arizona also accepts other items as proof of training as well which can be found at: http://www.azdps.gov/

When you reserve the spot in the class I send out all the details on the class. That being said, the class is lecture only, no firearms required for the class. The only other optional fee is that I do have a fingerprint service come in at the end of class and roll your fingerprint card for Utah; but their service is entirely optional and is NOT a required cost. Most of my students take advantage of that service just because getting fingerprints done is a pain.

If you want to see what all the states are the AZ CCW permit is accepted in, just go to http://usacarry.com/ and you can build all the various maps you could ever want to see what gives you the best coverage. Each state has their own background check / application fee that varies from state to state.

Any other questions let me know. Many students have been through my class and a lot of their comments are posted in the thread.

It was informative, fun, and well paced. Thanks for keeping the class going at a good speed and for letting us talk about our "war" stories.

I like how SUPER easy you made all the paperwork, fingerprinting, etc. It really shows that you put thought into the class and made it so all your students can easily get their CCW paperwork turned in.

Does your course satisfy the AZ class requirements? If it does then please reserve a spot for me since that is the only state I am interested in applying for. Thanks

My February 4th class is full currently. That being said, one of the other instructors on here is holding a AZ / FL only class on February 26th. The deadline to sign up for his class is this Friday and the link to sign up is here. My next class will be in mid March.
